But the key issue is to who gains the benefits and who pays for it. Thecontent providers (hosting companies) will not pay for a solution thatonly offers drawbacks to them, but benefits would go to ISP. There is noincentive for content houses to deploy such a solution.
The incentive for everyone is to deploy a scalable routing architecture that serves us for the long term. Regardless of the proposal that RRG puts forward, it's thermodynamically impossible that it will have no cost. There will be deployment costs, forwarding plane changes, and a mapping subsystem to support.
Having a functioning Internet for our great grandchildren is the benefit and without that, the hosting companies are simply out of business.
